This tartan found in May 1991 in Dalgliesh files with a Kinloch Anderson label. K. Dalgliesh explains that a rich American (Leslie Peters, Baron of Lee.) purchased an old house/castle near Glasgow which he renovated ....apparently a barony went with it. He went to Kinloch Anderson to design a tartan for him and stocked his house with kilts of this tartan so that his visiting American friends could wear "his" tartan. A Johnston tartan with yellow changed to red and widened. Date of 1988 found in 2005 in STS Journal (EBW).
